What are the suggested indicators?
The suggested indicators are guidelines designed to help you determine whether or not your company complies with the main question. There are three types of indicators in the tool: policy, procedure and performance. The policy indicators seek to determine whether your company has policies or guidelines in place to address the human rights issue of concern in the main question. The procedural indicators inquire whether your company has appropriate and sufficient procedures in place to effectuate the policies, and the performance indicators request verification of company performance. It is important for the validity of the assessment that you contemplate the policy, procedure and performance indicators first before attempting to answer the main question. While the number of indicators may seem overwhelming at first, the categories of pre-determined answers are designed with enough flexibility so that you should, after some familiarity with the tool, be able to answer all the indicators
